Ugh.

The method of natural consequences looks great on paper, but its practical application is extremely limited, because:

- many consequences are prohibitively dangerous (Dear son, surely the choice is yours, but I would suggest not to play with your toys in the middle of the road)

- many times the consequences are worse for parents (No, you may not play with grandma's golden necklace. I know you'll be careful and will never lose it, but, sorry, nope)

- children have much shorter time horizon: from hours at two years old up to months for late teens. Anything more than that is "infinity" and all consequences disappear at such distance.
